You may have heard of ClassTag, the cloud-based app that helps teachers engage parents in their classroom community. ClassTag has just launched a completely free parent-teacher conference organization tool for teachers. With this app teachers can set up parent-teacher conferences in minutes with a simple, one-page application.

To schedule conferences, teachers indicate when they are available, provide the email addresses of the parents and add a personal note. Once the teacher clicks on create your conference, ClassTag takes over, sending follow-up emails to ensure that every family signs up for the conference. The app was designed to save teachers time and provide them with easy to access information. ClassTag’s Parent Teacher Conference app simplifies the process for parents as well. Families can access an easy-to-understand sign up sheet online in a simple and secure interface.
